Repositioning Flex components

You can visually move MXML and Flash components from one container to another, or within a

container.

For more information on a container's layout management rules, see "Using Layout Containers"

in Developing Flex Applications Help.

To reposition components on a page:

Select the component as follows:

To select a container, click any of the following: the container's tab, its border, or any white

space in it.

To select any other component, click it on the page or in the tag selector at the bottom of

the Document window.

To select multiple components, drag to select a group of components, or Control-click each

component to add it to the group.

Drag the component or components to a new position on the page.

The insertion point changes depending on the layout management rules of the container:

If you drag a component into a container with automatic positioning (such as an

Application or Tile container), a line appears to indicate where the component will be

positioned.

If you drag a component into a Canvas container, which has absolute positioning, a cross-

hair appears to indicate where the component will be positioned. When you click, the

component is inserted with its upper left corner positioned on the cross-hair.
